Heat & Energy Transformations
Christmas lights
- Christmas lights change from electrical to radiant energy when the lights are plugged in
Christmas tree
When A Christmas tree dies it changes from radiant to chemical energy.
Frozen window
When the warm hand hit the frozen window it melted it. This changes from radiant to thermal energy.
Melting snow
When the sun came out and hit the snow it melted it causing it to turn into water. This changes from radiant to thermal energy.
Hot chocolate
The hot chocolate was boiling in the pot this changes from chemical to thermal energy.
Christmas Candle
When burning a Christmas candle it changes from chemical to radiant and thermal energy.
Snowman
The snowman's big giant head rolled down from the top of the hill to the bottom. This changes from potential to kinetic energy.
Gingerbread Man
Your uneaten gingerbread man is potential chemical energy.
Christmas tree
The Christmas tree on top of the roof has potential energy.
Christmas Tree
Lifting your presents from the table to under the tree changes from potential to kinetic energy.
Santa's sleigh
Santa's automatic sleigh uses gasoline for fuel (chemical energy) to movement of the sleigh (mechanical energy).
Snow
The snow was sliding off the roof of the house, this changes from potential to kinetic energy.
Santa
Santa riding down the lane changes from potential to kinetic energy,
